Abstract Semi-quantum cryptography was proposed to deal with the issue that some players are only able to perform classical operations, thus alleviating the cost of its implementation. For achieving the better universal setting for current environment, we propose a mutual authenticated semi-quantum-honest key agreement scheme with three-particle entangled states in cross-domain setting, which means in different realm’s client can get the session key by his/her own server helping, while anyone else cannot get the session key except for the two clients. In addition, we assume that there is no fully trusted party and that all parties are semi-honest. More important, by the third party’s helping with three-particle entangled states and the four rules, the third party, two servers and two clients can authenticate each other. The proposed scheme has the properties of completeness, information-theoretic security, non-repudiation and unforgeability. On the other hand, our scheme is more efficient than the similar schemes.

1 Introduction Cryptography is acting an increasingly significant role in our information-oriented society. Quantum cryptography is a new interdisciplinary subject combining classical cryptography with quantum information. It is a new type of cryptographic system that uses quantum effects to realize the information exchange of unconditional security. With the rapid development of quantum technology and the realization of quantum computer, the classical cryptosystems might be in potential danger. Fortunately, quantum cryptography can overcome this problem because it employs the physical principles in quantum mechanics to obtain unconditional security. Hence, researchers set out to deeply study quantum cryptography and achieve many significant results. Since the presentation of the first quantum key distribution protocol by Bennett and Brassard in 1984 [1], quantum information and quantum computation have spurred a number of theoretical and practical researches. In recent decade, researches on quantum computation and quantum information make it possible to be used in real-life world scenario applications related to information security [2–4]. Among them, in the proof of the unconditional security of the quantum key distribution
